about half way between Corpus and Houston.........
you can use a regular bathroom scale.......I can't find my scale to weigh them.
This was just a terrible time of year for kids. Future breeding will be better planned. She was already bred when we got her in April.
Well I hope that they continue to progress as they should. What do you mean by the buckling already stinks like a buckling? My buckling doesn't seem to have any particular odor to him and he's still intact.........although he needs to not be.I don't necessarily think that. They look fine to me, but I just don't know any better. Like when you've had your first hatch and can't see any problems, but by your hundredth hatch you get a second sense for weak chicks.
They bounce around and their bellies look full. They don't cry, they sleep a lot. I'm seen them nibble hay and feed with their mom. Poop is still yellow and squishy. The buckling already stinks like a buck. The doeling likes to stand on my feet. The Big Boys don't seem to mind them. That's all I know.

Considerably further south. Do you get a lot of air movement coming in off the gulf?
as the crow flies, only about 9-10 miles from a bay......... so yes, we usually get lots of decent sea breezes, but on them still days, when the humidity is up, is like living under a wet wool blanket fresh out of the microwave.
Yea I know what you mean about the still days with no breeze. Days like those are just miserable.
Yes dry heat is better then wet heat. However no heat is the bestest.
I like New Mexico better, but agree on the dry heat!
